17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Signed off over hurdles with victory at Market Rasen (2m2f) and he has shaped well switched to chasing when runner-up in 2m4f handicaps at Uttoxeter and Worcester (winner has gone in again since) this summer; tongue tied now and visor replaces cheekpieces; weighted to go close. |
5/2 |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Lightly raced point winner (2m4f, good to soft) who won easily over hurdles at Market Rasen (2m2f, good) in March and was a promising second on last month's chase debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good), where he was clear with the 10-11 favourite; open to further improvement; firmly in calculations. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Has to bounce back from a poor run at Hereford but prior to that he wasn't far away over 3m at Taunton (good); he's up to winning a race of this nature. |
7/1 |
|
5th 4 |
16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Similar form in this three handicaps, closest finish when coming from the rear for third of 16 at Taunton (3m, good) last time; off 126 days and back down in trip but has to be considered for yard among the winners. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |

No wins in 15 but has performed well enough on the odd occasion to merit some respect in a race of this nature; trip/ground fine; cheekpieces added. |
12/1 |
|
4th 4 |
10th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
14-race maiden over hurdles but he has the odd bit of form, as when beaten 6.5l at Chepstow last time (2m3f, good to soft); previous best efforts were on good ground; can run well. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Dual hurdle winner on slow ground; safely held on chasing debut in November and well beaten when back over hurdles in February; back from another three-month break with cheekpieces refitted; others have much less to prove. |
8/1 |
|
6th 5 |
20th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Mark and ground both fine, but have to hope confidence hasn't been dented by being brought down two starts back and enduring a rough race on November's chasing debut; unraced over this short since autumn 2024. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
It's been underwhelming stuff thus far but he's treated accordingly for this handicap debut and a tongue-tie is added; entitled to show more. |
5/1 |
|
6th 3 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Showed some ability in sole bumper but pulled up/tailed off on first two hurdle starts (2m4f/2m5f); stable has much more obvious chance with Fountains Blenhein. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
0-11 under rules; didn't run badly when back over hurdles in March but was safely held in both chases last season (2m7f/3m) and has become disappointing. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |

No worthwhile form in his handicaps over hurdles and last two chase runs were also underwhelming. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Dual point winner; it was only her fourth run over fences when second at Warwick (3m, soft) and she could rebound from her Ludlow run now fitted with a tongue-tie; hard to dismiss. |
5/1 |
|
4th 5 |
30th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Dual point winner; having only her fourth run over fences when runner-up at Warwick (3m, soft) and looks up to winning races off this low a mark; good ground will be fine. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Shaped with promise before penultimate-fence fall at Tipperary (2m3f, yielding) at start of this month, his second start over fences, but was tailed off over 3m1f here on Saturday; others have more pressing claims. |
12/1 |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
0-11 over hurdles and came to grief in both his recent chases; ran quite well before last-fence departure at Tipperary (2m3f, yielding) last time, though, and today's move back up in trip ought to suit; could have a say. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Placed twice over shorter this year, runner-up at Fontwell (2m5f) last time; one of the main players on recent form but is no certainty to go one better, being 0-23 overall and not a certain stayer back up in trip. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Won twice at Stratford (3m2f/2m6f) in spring 2024 and well handicapped on those efforts but lost his way afterwards and has been absent since well-held fourth at Stratford 13 months ago; had wind op last month. |
10/1 |
|
4th 5 |
13th Apr 2025 Good 3m 2f 83y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Won this race a year ago (good to soft), his second start for Mel Rowley, and followed up off today's mark here (2m6f, good) in May; looked out of sorts in the winter when last seen but is still of some interest on return to this track. |
3/1 |
Betting Forcast
5/1 Lets Sail Away, 8/1 Brave Move, 10/1 Izzys Grey, 14/1 Twp Stori, 12/1 Crest Of Valour, 4/1 Jo Arengeot Bey AA, 3/1 Lynsey Larue, 10/1 Mr McWhinny, 8/1 Daring Plan, 16/1 R Bernard
Verdict
The two that won under rules last time are the ones to concentrate on and while Jo Arengeot Bey AA is greatly feared after scoring over C&D last time, preference is for LYNSEY LARUE to back up her win at Ffos Las last time. Let’s Sail Away has done little wrong over fences and a case can be made if he is ready to roll following an absence. Brave Move may also show improvement now that he tackles fences, while Daring Plan should find a race soon. [Andrew Bladen]
